Justin Timberlake had fans in a frenzy after a wardrobe malfunction during his concert in Nashville on Friday night.
The 43-year-old pop star was performing at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour when things took an unexpected turn, as a harness around his waistline drew attention to a particularly noticeable area.
In a viral clip captured by a fan, Timberlake can be seen performing with the harness riding a little too high, making his crotch the star of the moment.
The camera zoomed in for a closer look as the singer awkwardly tugged at his shirt, seemingly trying to cover up the surprise bulge.
Naturally, social media exploded and trolls quickly pounced, poking fun at the situation with some cheeky comments.
One critic couldn’t resist a nod to JT’s SexyBack, writing, ‘Bringing micro back.’

Another quipped, ‘The way he tugged his shirt to cover it…’ while one user dragged his wife, Jessica Biel, into the mix with a snarky, ‘No wonder Jessica Biel be looking miserable all the time.’
Timberlake may have been caught off guard, but it looks like his fans were the ones who couldn’t keep it together.
‘Definitely not Chris brown in a harness,’ another posted, with one adding, ‘The kinda man that says “Is it okay?”‘
Yet another joked, ‘Jessica Biel, you ok girl.’
Timberlake’s recent wardrobe mishap comes more than a decade after his infamous Super Bowl incident with Janet Jackson.
During their 2004 performance, Timberlake, as a surprise guest, accidentally exposed Janet’s breast while pulling off a part of her costume, revealing a sun-shaped nipple shield.
The fallout from the incident had a lasting impact on Janet’s career, with the controversy overshadowing her performance, while Justin largely escaped public scrutiny.
The 2021 Framing Britney Spears documentary brought the issue back into the spotlight, leading Timberlake to apologize publicly for his role in perpetuating misogyny and racism, and to express regret to both Janet and Britney for his past actions.

‘I am deeply sorry for the times in my life where my actions contributed to the problem, where I spoke out of turn, or did not speak up for what was right,’ he wrote in 2021.
‘I understand that I fell short in these moments and in many others and benefited from a system that condones misogyny and racism.’ Justin added.
‘I specifically want to apologize to Britney Spears and Janet Jackson both individually, because I care for and respect these women and I know I failed.’
In her memoir The Woman in Me, Spears opened up about the pain she endured after her breakup with Timberlake and his public comments that followed.
Britney acknowledged Timberlake’s apology but made it clear that she is focused on healing and moving forward with her life.
